Michael Jordan was a great team leader and one of the best sportsmens of XX century. I think we should trust him on this one. I just add a few words from myself.

A team can achieve something that one man never could. Talent itself can win games but with teamwork you can get much further. If a team is lead by a intelligent, smart leader – sky is the limit.

You don’t get harmony when everybody sings the same note.Steve Honey

Harmony is diversity. In music it is different notes that sound good together. In life, it means that completely different people can cooperate together very well. The outcome coming from a combination of different personalities and skills is much more interesting.

People have different thinking, approaches to problems and ways of working things out. But there’s a strength in differences. If a team learns how to embrace everyone’s strength, each teammate can give its best and the team itself will be unstoppable.

That’s the power of diversity. If everyone would sing the same note, the result would be monotony.

None of us is as smart as all of us.Ken Blanchard

People who are successful often work with more experienced or skilled employees. We learn the most by talking to each other. This way we develop our skills and we challenge our thinking. You can have a great idea but with the right team ideas can evolve and you will be able to make the most out of it.

I’m a big fan of brainstorming. Everyone comes prepared with their ideas that they thought of in a solitude. Then by sharing the ideas and views, a team can come up with something even better.

The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.Phil Jackson

This is beautifully said. Being a part of a team and feel support from your teammates is one of the best feelings. There’s a power in a group of people that work together toward a shared goal.

This can be a group of people who play together in a basketball team, develop software, or plan the vacations of their lives.

There’s no doubt that when you join the forces you can make something you alone would never be able to.

Teamwork makes the magic happens

This post would be incomplete without mentioning the team I’m a part of. After all, LiveChat has a team that keeps getting bigger and stronger.

We’re completely different and yet we work together every day. Some of us need quiet to do their job, some use music to get in the mood. Some come to work early in the morning, while others prefer to work at night. We do our job in the most effective way for us.

But what’s essential is that we all share one goal. And we work on it from one place. The place where the magic happens.
